The climate in our hands - Climate Change and Land  

This is the first teacher's guide book of the collection “The climate in our hands”, a series of volumes on the topic of climate change. The aim of this guide book is to support teachers in carrying out a range of activities on climate change and the ocean and cryosphere in their classrooms, and targets students from the upper end of primary school to the end of lower-secondary school (ages 9 to 15).

Here we propose carrying out a project based on citizen science, where students conduct real research on the impact of climate change on the predation of caterpillars.

This activity explores the greenhouse gases in both their natural and enhanced state and the effect they have on the Earth’s climate. Students make a presentation about the gases.

Biodigesters produce gas for cooking, which helps families within the community to change their cooking habits to more sustainable ones.

Students become aware of how much humans depend on land and the valuable resources it provides.
